 

It is advisable to wear suitable eye protection when 
operating a mower. 

 

Mow only in daylight or good artificial light. 

 

Before using, always visually inspect to see that 
blades, bolts and cutter assembly are not worn or 

damaged. Replace worn or damaged blades and 
bolts in sets to preserve balance. 

 

Check all nuts, bolts, and screws often; always be 
sure the mower is in safe operating condition. 

 

Keep safety devices (guards and switches) in place 
and in working order. 

 

Never use the mower unless the guards provided by 
the manufacturer, are in position.

Ensure any replacement parts used comply with the 
original manufacture’s recommendations and specifi-
cations.

fire hazard. 

 

Refuel outdoors only. Do not smoke while fueling 
engine. Never remove the cap of the fuel tank or add 
petrol while the engine is running or the engine is 

hot. Remove fuel cap slowly to relieve any tank pres-
sure. If fuel is spilled, do not attempt to start the 

engine but move machine away from the area of the 
spill and avoid creating any source of ignition until 
fuel vapors have dissipated. 

 

Check for fuel leaks while refueling, before and while 
using the mower. If a fuel leak is found, do not start 
or run the engine until the fuel leak is fixed and 

spilled fuel is wiped away. 

 

Do not operate engine in a confined space where 
exhaust fumes (carbon monoxide) can collect.

Always mount the mower from the left or the oppo-
site side  to the discharge chute. 

 

Start the engine carefully with the cutting means dis-
engaged. 

 

Do not over-speed the engine or alter governor set-
tings. Excessive speed is dangerous and shortens 
mower life. 

 

Stop the engine whenever you leave the mower, 
even for a moment. 

 

Store the mower in a well-ventilated room away from 
naked flames such as may be found in hot water 
heaters.
